|QUESTIONAIRE (Use an additional electronic document if necessary. You will need to attach to your email.) |

|Give us a brief personal history (points for creativity!) | |

| |

|Describe in detail any relevant prior work and/or volunteer experience |

| |

|What personal contributions would you make to the Knock Around Camp Program? |

| |

|Describe your professional career ambitions. What field(s) do you see yourself pursuing after college and why? |

| |

|Elaborate on three qualities you see as necessary in order for a person to successfully work with children. |

| |

|What do you think a child should get out of summer camp? |

| |

|The following 3 situations presuppose that you are a counselor who, along with a co-counselor, is in charge of a group of twenty children and away from camp |

|headquarters. |

|Situation A: Your group has just walked back across campus from rock climbing. As you transition into the next activity, you notice that one of your campers |

|has gone missing. What do you do? |

| |

|Situation B: You’re with a group of 12-14 year olds with one hour of free time to plan. The group begins to grumble and complain about every game you suggest,|

|just as they have every other day this week. You’re really beginning to get a negative perception of this group and you know that something needs to be done to|

|shake up the routine. How do you go about engaging the group? |

| |

|Situation C: You’re out at lunch on Muir Field and you notice a man standing by the field that you don’t recognize. He’s not interacting with the campers, but|

|he does seem to be watching the activities that are going on. The more you think about it, this guy gives you the creeps. What do you do? |

| |

|Tell us a story of a challenge you’ve overcome in your life and what you learned from it. |

| |

|The goal, in working with children, is to promote the development of productive and positive human beings. If this is our objective at Knock Around, why should|

|we hire you? |

| |

|Do you have any talents, specialties or interests you wish to tell us about? |
